This assessment will require you to present a case study report (LO1) outlining the organisational role as stipulated by the health and social care standards with examples on how these are met within the UK based on case studies provided. You will also be expected to demonstrate an understanding of the behavioural theory through the Health Belief Model (LO2) using your chosen case study or a given practical example.
A case study is a practical example of one (1) health and social care organisation and the ways in which they meet regulatory standards in the UK.
The case study has four (4) parts: (LO1)
-Identify one (1) organisation from the case studies provided and describe the services it provides.
-Identify the health and social care standards including relevant legislation that apply to your chosen organisation.
-Identify the ways in which the organisation meets or fails to meet the relevant standards
-A Harvard referenced bibliography (not included in the word count).
Behavioural Theories - Health Belief Model
An analysis of the Health Belief Model as a preventative health behaviour using examples either from the case study/or relevant real life practical examples to show your understanding. (LO2)
Use the link presented below to choose a relevant case study to construct your response and to justify your views on all aspects of HSC standards and legislation and to support your stance on what is considered as “best practice’’.-Ability to understand clearly key HSC standards and behavioural theories :
-Ability to explain legislation underpinning HSC professional roles, standards and best practice.-Amount of research and range of sources used
-Written communication skills: structure (including word count) & appearance
-Written communication skills: spelling, punctuation, grammar and paragraphing.
Ability to explain key HSC standards and behavioural theories
-Key concepts are misunderstood Explanations are confusing.
-Mostly adequate explanations and coverage of the key questions. Some minor misunderstandings or confusing explanations.
-Demonstrates a sound grasp of all themes implied by the key questions Good understanding of the literature read.
-Clearly explains the concepts implied by the key questions. Very good understanding of the literature read.
Ability to depict how HSC standards, legislation improve HSC professional roles
-No clear understanding – for example all authors’ ideas and opinions are taken at face value and are simply described .There are major misunderstandings of key concepts.
-Some attempts to understand clearly although sometimes the arguments may be unclear Some of the understanding in the work is derived from other sources – it is not the student’s own thinking-The work appears as a collection of separate pieces – obvious connections are missed between key concepts.
-Clear evidence of critical judgement in selecting, ordering and analysing content and tries to construct a sound argument The work attempts to integrate all the key questions as part of a whole piece.
-Clear evidence of critical judgement in selecting, ordering and analysing content to construct a sound argument which reveals occasional insight and/or originality There is a flow to the work and discussion of all the key questions fits together.
Amount of research and range of sources used To deliver explanation of health social care standards and best practice
-No, or little evidence, of reading from Reading Group articles No or little evidence of reading outside the sources provided. Inappropriate sources used, i.e. no connection to key literature.
-Clear evidence of reading from the articles provided. Some additional reading also. There may be some limitations in ability to select appropriate material Little evidence of using real life examples to illustrate theoretical concepts.
-Clear evidence of reading from the articles provided, appropriately used. Additional reading, appropriately used. Some evidence of using real life examples to illustrate theoretical concepts.
-Clear evidence of thorough reading from articles provided, appropriately used. Very good breadth and depth of reading from outside those sources provided. Uses real life examples to illustrate theoretical concepts.
